Drive your own scooter

Shh, i don't to say this too loud, but I have had 3 goods days in a row. My L.L. is back to being a sweetheart. Kind and reasonable. Plus I am only working 10 instead of 13 hours. The rest of the week will be 8 hours. It really is amazing how much better it makes it us for both of us. So, nice surprise. I am proud of myself for asking what I wanted and negotiating my pay. Took me long enough, but I did it.

Another "atta boy" was that I called and canceled the MK party. I just decided that I wasn't going to be bullied into doing something I didn't want to do. I mean...I already spent 3 hours of a Saturday afternoon and more money on potions then I have in a year that afternoon. I think I handled it well. We are still friends.

Getting off earlier allows me a little life. Like I had a busy social schedule prior to October. I did have my son and his GF to dinner. It was nice. I fixed ribs in the crock pot. Got to give the people what they want. I had a little meat and lots of broccoli. Nice visit. We were talking about Greg Mortinssen. It's funny, I was just reading about Roxie attending a lecture of his and my kid is doing some kind of paper of school on it. Anyway. It was nice to visit.

I can't believe it's just 5 short weeks till the wedding. My kid told me I was looking skinny again. A friend said something this week as well. I am still just north of 200 lbs. So that made me feel good. I haven't been strict, but conscious of what I am putting in my mouth. I missed walking this morning. 20 degrees this morning. WTH?? I love me some weather. Probably won't go tomorrow either.

I had my back adjusted today. Holy HELL! It is more sore now then before. Before my butt and thighs just tingled. I am putting some heat on it and hoping to be good to go by morning. I am going to just take it easy cause of my back and my knee kind of bothered me after the 5 miler Saturday.

Hope everyone Else's week is as good as mine. Going to try to read a few blogs before I hit the sack. I am exhausted. I took L.L. food shopping on Senior Citizen Discount Day. Again....WTH was I thinking. No handicapped spots and no scooters. Oh and one impatient old lady. I told her if we are still friends after that we really are friends. She damn near took out a Superbowl beer display. All the while she kept telling me she was a good driver. I kept grabbing the wheel. It was a croweded store full of other impatient old people. You get the picture. I can laugh about it now. Not so funny when I was knee deep in it. It will only be funny once. I won't do that to myself again. Lesson learned.

Keep the mood and the food real..........you drive your own scooter!

  1. I have this vision of us in our dotage on side by side scooters after I've retired to AZ. WE'll be popping scooter wheelies in TJs. We would have a blast!

  3. I can feel the relief in this post - so glad things are better! Never thought about how shopping on SCDD would entail a store full of geezers on scooters - that must have been crazy!
